Access to Version Cue features, by way of the Adobe dialog box or Bridge, varies depending on whether or not you use Version Cue-enabled software and whether or not you use one of the Adobe Creative Suite products (for example, Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium).

For instance, you have access to the full feature set, either through the Adobe dialog box or Bridge, when you use Photoshop as part of a suite product. By contrast, if you use Photoshop as stand-alone software, you must be granted access to a shared project in order to use the full Version Cue feature set. In Dreamweaver, Contribute, and Fireworks, you have access to Version Cue features only through Bridge. The following table explains the scenarios in which you have access to Version Cue features, and how you access those features.

Adobe recommends managing non‑Adobe files with Bridge. However, if you’re collaborating with other users who don’t have access to Bridge, they can use the Version Cue WebDAV Server URL to access projects on a Version Cue Server. See Connect to a Version Cue Server using WebDAV.

IT administrators can use the Adobe Version Cue Access Utility, available for download from the Adobe website, to access and extract current versions of files stored in a Version Cue project. For more information, visit the Adobe website.
